About

HL7 CanadaWelcome to the Canadian FHIR implementation community forum. The purpose of this forum is to collaborate on areas of FHIR implementation that will advance implementations across Canada, while contributing to the global adoption of FHIR. The objective is to develop pan-Canadian approaches to constraining and extending FHIR. The community has been active since January 2016 and has been growing ever since!

The community has several streams of activity:

Michael Savage created a new discussion in FHIR® Implementations

Hi all! Just wanted to bring to the group's attention that the May 2024 occurrence of the FHIR Implementers Quarterly Community Call will occur on Weds May 29th 2024. For some reason there was an occurrence (incorrectly) scheduled for every Wednesday during the month of May; I've removed all of them except the May 29th occurrence. Thank you!

Michael Savage created a new discussion in FHIR® Implementations

Hi all! For this Friday's CA Baseline Governance call, the agenda is as follows: 1. How & when to address items for the Baseline uncovered through subsequent CA Core review processes? 2. Discuss Stub Value Sets 3. Review List of Additional Topics As a brief heads-up, I'll be filling in for Sheridan as facilitator for this session, and will be taking notes & recording the session, as well as documenting any questions that require offline review to follow-up on. Thank you!

Sadrina Petit created a new discussion in FHIR® Implementations

Attila Farkas replied to a discussion in FHIR® Implementations

Given that a lot of new colleagues have joined the working group lately, it may be worth reminding everyone that each WG contains a Tab called Events. It is in this tab (which is a calendar view) where anyone organizing events in the working group can post the coordinates (links) to upcoming meetings. This was done on purpose so that a "self-serve" capability for the community is established whereby the organizers do not need to invite everyone, rather, anyone can attend all the meetings they are interested in. So if you are part of a working group, check their Events page and click/download the meeting invite/series that best suits your interest. Consequently, this also means that co-chairs are encouraged to schedule/list all of their meetings using this Events page approach. Thank you! Hope this helps, Attila
